Where are you hosted?

Quillink: On hostgator, do you use a shared plan?

BMR, what host would you recommend? I have a budget of $10 a month at most :3 And I'll be using the script so it'll be a medium-traffic site.

I would recommend a couple of hosts:

It's My Server - This host is run by Roger Smiley who is one of the moderators here. It is also where these forums are hosted. I don't know though if it is officially open for business or not as Roger seems to be working on the main website and it doesn't seem complete at this moment.

Dotstrar - I also recommend this host. This is actually the host I use for my development server, so it would be the exact same server (or very close to it, depending which box you would be on) I use to develop the Adoptables script. Thus, you know the script will work as it is the same server config under which the script was developed. :)

Both are good choices I think. :)

How much bandwidth do you think I should get? I've calculated using some online tools that I currently use about 6 GB of bandwidth a month.... So which plan would be the best? I'm currently veering towards Professional on DotStrar...[hr]
Also, how exactly does reseller hosting work on DotStrar? Is the 200,000mb allotted for you, or for everyone on your server (or in other words, is it shared?)

This may help with the reseller information Rose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reseller_hosting
Or this pulled from HostGator's website:

You have a reseller hosting account control panel called Web Host Manager. WHM is where you go to create your customer accounts. After filling in their account information you click "create." This will instantly set them up with their very own control panel called cPanel. This is where they will go to administer their website. Once they are logged into cPanel they can create subdomains, email addresses, change passwords, and much more without requiring any help from you or us.

Brandon, do you have a code for dotstrar? Something where if you refer a user you get so much off hosting?

I joined Dotstrar, now to wait 24 hours :)

And thanks enddayne, that was very helpful.

My affiliate link is:
http://hosting.dotstrar.com/cp/aff.php?aff=063

This will give me 10% of any hosting payments for life, so if you want to help me and go with DotStrar then this would be nice. :)

Thanks,
Brandon

Erm, I'm registered there and I payed. They told me it'd be 3 days at most until my domain was registered. It's been 4..... *pokes the server*

*pokes* BMR, did you have to do anything special when your domain name was registered? Now it's been 5 days and I'm really at a loss to explain this.

Did you register it through your host or through another company? You might have to change the nameservers of the domain to point to your server.
